Reply to the list, not the one answering. (Sorry I haven't figured out
how to set the reply-to header correctly.)
Either of the first 2 forms should be fine.
I assume you tried it from the command line and it worked?
When you say it fails, does that mean nothing appears or are you
seeing a message?
Depending on how you started fvwm, error messages might be going to
different places. Most likely, any error messages are in
$HOME/.xsession-errors.
